 * Blinkenshell is about to move to a new IRC-network because shellsnet is closing down. There's a new channel (#blinkenshell)
 available on the IRC-network irc.systemshells.net (try irc.overloadx.net if it doesn't work). Web access to IRC is now available through CGI:IRC here: http://blinkenshell.org/cgiirc/
 * Upgraded Apache and PHP. This wiki now uses fastcgi instead of mod_python. Made som changes in the directory tree, some URLs have changed (to media-files like css etc.)
